We might fool ourselves into believing that we need money to be successful. We can achieve success without money. it all depends on what we think of success. it doesn;t mean the same to everyone. it can't be measured by monetary values alone. It may mean something different to someone else.

Hiya amit, Money is not the only measure of Success. I know that for a lot of People it has to be so but it is not really. It all depends what attitude you take towards it. Success for me is getting up to where I am now. I have no money but I have a lot more knowledge than before. I have no Titles or Degrees but I am still happy learning what I can where I can. I take it all in as much as I can. Success for me is to be able to keep going forward and learning and reaching out and growing more and more. So money does not really matter for me in this sense. I cannot measure it in money what I have learned up to now.

success - what is aim in your life
No ... i think this is depend on you because what do you want in your life for your success you know best and what do you think about success...

Partly Yes,Success has many fields though, but i think 35% of success comes from the Financial side, while the other aspects are being divided,to complete the 100% basis,some may be successful in the financial side ,but may flop in the aspect, such as Love,relationship,etc...Regarding Satisfaction,Human tends no contentment at all,that is why the world is now developed and still developing so fast,look at all these technologies in the world...it is still in its development stage up now, if Human is contented then i think Happiness starts there....

hi... Its a good question.Many people feel that money is the most precious thing in their life. But there are things which cannot be euated with money in ones life.They are love, friendship and few more.I think success is one of them.If you are a failure what can you do with money. Money can give luxuries but not the happiness if one feel that money is happiness we can say that he is less caring about relationships. But i do accept the importance of money but success has its own importance in ones life rather than money i think soooo... And more over ithink if one gets succed in life automatically money will flow towards him.

Success is not all about money. Good relationships, having a good character are just some of the things that we could consider a success in life. We tend to be attracted to money since humans feel discontent at some point in their lives even if they have the things that they need.

Money may ba one measure of success, but that is not all. You may have the most money in the world, but if you're not happy, to me, you are not successful. Also, if you're neglected other parts of you to have all that money, to me that is not successful. For me, success is a healthy balance of success in terms of money, family, self fulfillment, service to other people, contentment in general, spirituality, etc. A success in only one of those is not success at all.

I think money has nothing to do with it for most people. The key to being successful to me is to decide what it is that you want in life and what is really important to you (like for me, it would be to have a great family and have enough time to spend with them), and then go for that. Once you have achieved your own goal, not everyone else's, you are successful! For some people this goal may involve money in some form, but most people probably value other things more.
